How to breed a robust pig
2017-08-01 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
Developments in pig breeding have led to considerable positive genetic changes in production traits due to direct selective pressure on traits such as growth rate and feed efficiency. These genetic improvements in efficiency and productivity, however, have seen attendant increases in high physiological demands, which may have unfavorable consequences on productive longevity of farm animals (Knap and Rauw, 2009).

Guardian: An attempt to breed one of the worlds rarest birds in captivity has failed after the only two chicks which hatched died, conservationists said. Efforts to breed critically endangered spoon-billed sandpipers, named after their unusual beak, from the worlds only captive population seemed to have yielded results, with seven eggs laid and two chicks hatching. One of the tiny birds, which were little bigger than a bumblebee, died soon after it hatched at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) headquarters...

Guardian: The Bramble Cay melomys has become more famous in extinction than it ever was in life. A mouse-like rodent, the melomys amazingly survived on a 3.6 hectare grass-covered cay (a low-lying island in a coral reef) in Australias Great Barrier Reef like a ratty Robinson Crusoe for thousands of years. There, it thrived off just a few plant species until human-caused climate change--in the form of rising sea levels and increasing inundations of sea water on the low-lying island--wiped it off the planet....
